52 A Date With Aloy
The atmosphere suddenly fell into a deadlock, and everyone present suddenly felt awkward.
“Ahem…” Zhang Dulong immediately gave Luo Jin an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, my son has a bad temper and offended you. As his father, I can only apologize to you.”
“No need, Lord Zhang, no need.”
Although Luo Jin said that it was not necessary, his brows were still tightly knitted.
“Since everyone has nothing to say, why don’t we adjourn for this meeting?” Li Mingzhu immediately stood up from his seat and looked at the people around him with disdain. “I see that after talking for so long, none of you have gotten to the point. I still have things to do, so I’ll take my leave first. Son, let’s go.”
After saying this, Li Mingzhu and Li Yuan immediately walked out of the conference room. The atmosphere of the entire meeting became even colder.
“Ahem, ahem.” Zhang Dulong coughed twice and looked helplessly at the crowd. “In that case, let’s end this meeting first. We’ll hold another meeting next time when we’re all free.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jin, who had been pulling a long face, quickly packed his things and left the venue.
The other families also followed suit, packing up their things and leaving. The first meeting about how to deal with Shen Fei ended badly.
…
“Whew…”
Shen Fei wiped the sweat off his forehead. After staying in the cultivation room for the entire afternoon, he was finally almost done with his cultivation.
“Coo, coo.”
The Flame Owl pounced excitedly into Shen Fei’s arms, looking very happy.
“Roar!”
The Three-clawed Golden Dragon also flew down from the sky and became even more petite. It coiled around Shen Fei’s head.
After this round of training, the Flame Owl’s new skill had reached Level 40, and it had becom very familiar with the new skill.
Additionally, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s ability points had also increased significantly. After some more training, its skill could be upgraded again.
At this point, Shen Fei could not help but look forward to it.
The Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s two original skills were already quite overbearing. He wondered what it would look like after it evolved!
“Alright, you two can come in.”
Shen Fei raised his hand and opened a crack to his pocket realm.
In an instant, the Flame Owl and the Three-clawed Golden Dragon entered the crack and returned to their respective spirit beast pocket realms.
Shen Fei stretched his waist, turned around and walked out of the special cultivation room.
‘After dinner, I’ll go to Nord Street for a stroll.’
He would also buy a few more skill books for the Flame Owl to learn and change its poor skill pool.
However, just as he walked out of the cultivation room, his phone rang. Shen Fei took out his phone and answered the call.
“Hello?”
“It’s me, Aloy. Do you have time tonight, Shen Fei?”
Aloy sounded hesitant from the other side of the phone. He did not know what she was thinking.
“What’s wrong? I’m going to the cultivation room tonight, are you going to sleep in my house again?”
“Haha, I have plenty of guest rooms in my house, you can sleep in as many as you want.”
“I don’t have time to sleep tonight.”
‘Do it!’ Aloy took a strand of her hair and casually rolled it up with her fingers.
“Tonight, I’d like to invite you to accompany me to an institution that breeds spirit beasts to choose my spirit beast.”
“Eh? So you haven’t chosen your own spirit beast yet?” Shen Fei frowned and thought it was strange.
No matter how he looked at it, Aloy did not seem like the kind of person who would drag things out.
Why was it that after three chances for selection, she had not been able to find a suitable spirit beast yet?
“Come with me tonight. I’ll treat you to something good.” On the other end of the phone, Aloy smiled.
She began to plan in her heart. She had been to many spirit beast markets during this period of time, but none of them satisfied her.
The best one she saw would only reach the Archduke rank in the future. What she wanted was a true Emperor rank.
Just as Aloy was contemplating bitterly to herself, Shen Fei’s figure subconsciously appeared in her mind.
There was also the Flame Owl that he had chosen…
‘That’s right! Can’t I just let Shen Fei help me decide?’
He had the Supreme Bloodline and was extremely lucky. The Flame Owl that he picked, although it looked like it had a bad fate, as long as it stayed by Shen Fei’s side, it would always be able to miraculously change its fate again and again.
With Shen Fei’s help, he would definitely be able to pick out an especially good one!
“No, I can’t,” Shen Fei decisively rejected Aloy.
‘What a joke, can’t she just choose her own spirit beast? Is she wasting my time just for this?’
Moreover, the black market’s goods were changing every day. If he did not go today, it might take a long time before he could find another skill book for the Flame Owl.
It was better to find a reason to reject her.
“I still have to return to the cultivation room to train tonight. You also know that the school examinations are coming soon. I want to get a good ranking for our school!
“You can go by yourself later. You don’t have to treat me to anything. Let’s just leave it at that for now.”
“Is that so?” Aloy heaved a long sigh. “Since you want to bring glory to your school, I won’t force you. It’s a pity. I’ll have to give my best friend the two million-Yuan escort fee instead. Bye, then.”
‘Two million?!’ Shen Fei quickly stopped Aloy.
“Wait! I think it’s fine for me to cultivate after I come back from the trip.”
“Hmm…” On the other end of the phone, AI Luo deliberately dragged out the last syllable. “Alright, we’ll meet at your place at seven o ‘clock. I’ll get Mr. Guo to pick you up.”
“Alright, I’ll see you then.” Shen Fei wiped the sweat on his forehead and hung up the phone.
‘That was close! I almost missed the chance to get two million!’
If he had an extra two million, the chances of buying a better skill book would shoot up. This would also make it easier for him to improve his abilities.
Compared to that, accompanying Aloy for a night was really nothing.
Shen Fei glanced at the school clock. There was still about two hours before seven o’clock.
He had to take advantage of this time to freshen up. He wanted to leave a good impression.
…
Aloy hung up the phone in her hand and lazily leaned back in her seat. Only in her own private car would she show such a relaxed state.
She let out a long sigh as she recalled the contents of their conversation.
‘As expected, Shen Fei is still against me, but there’s no other way.’
After all, she had treated him badly in the past, and this was the only way she could slowly make up for it.
‘I’ll just take this two million as payment for the date.’
“Mr. Guo. Please drive to the Shen family residence. We’ll go pick him up, and then go to the spirit beast training center.”
“Yes, miss.”
The butler who sat in the driver’s seat nodded decisively and drove to the Shen family’s house.
